Orioles Seek New Starter Amid High Expectations for Upcoming Season

Despite a quiet offseason, GM Mike Elias remains optimistic about the team's prospects and is actively exploring trade options.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias is seeking to add a proven starter to the team's rotation before Spring Training, but has yet to find the right deal.
Despite a quiet offseason, Elias remains optimistic about the team's prospects, citing a strong farm system and a small payroll that provides flexibility.
The Orioles, who won 101 games last season, have retained most of their team but have only signed veteran closer Craig Kimbrel so far.
The team is under pressure to build on last year's success, with expectations high for the upcoming season.
Elias has indicated that a trade is more likely than signing a free agent to secure a new starter, but the trade market has been slow this offseason.
